There is nothing more spectacular than finely woven silk- the lustre and shifting colours of the ikat are breath taking. These saris are made of ikat tissue silk by Dharamshi and his family. We were privileged to visit him in Bhuj and see the loom they are woven on. Then we had a festival of finery and colour as Dharamshi brought out and modeled saree and scarves.
Tying the ikat design into silk warp. It will then be dyed.
oh how gorgeous... so rich, so luscious.... love silk.

Pink Purple and Orange. Heaven.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - love the feel of silk. I am guessing it takes a long time to create a piece.
